Packets Flow by SAT
In D-Link firewalls, load-balancing enabled SAT rule is used to translate
packets exchanged between a client and real servers. When a new
connection is being opened, the SAT rule is triggered; it translates the
public server farm IP address to a real server address. Necessary
modification to the packets is performed by the underlying system
determined by NAT or Allow rule.

Scenario: Enabling SLB
The main configuration steps necessary for enabling SLB function in
D-Link firewalls are outlined as follows:
D-Link firewalls are outlined as follows:
•
Specifying a Server Farm – Define a group of servers as a server
farm by selecting the objects with correct IP.
